Paternity/Representation for Unmarried Parents
When an unmarried man and woman have a child, the mother or father must bring a motion to a court of proper jurisdiction to establish paternity of the child. It is only after paternity has been established that the unwed father may seek custody and visitation rights. Moreover, it is only after the establishment of paternity that a mother may seek court ordered child support from a biological father who was not her husband at the time of the child's birth.
At the Andrew Kim Law Firm, PLLC, we are pleased to represent mothers and fathers in paternity proceedings. We handle all matters pertinent to paternity proceedings, including:
